    I imagine that I would never be on the side of the crusaders, so now seems more suitable for my tastes than those two options.

    If I was alive in the Warhammer 40k universe I’d honestly probably be turned in servo-skull and tasked with far more mundane jobs like following around a Space Marine as a lamp.

    Nah, you’d be on a field till your neck sweat reached your ass crack. You had to be born into nobility to be a knight… sort of like how you have to be born into riches to not be a [insert profession] monkey.

    I rode a vehicle into combat. It’s really not all it’s cracked up to be. You’re sleep deprived, terrified, and every now and then something happens that reinforces the randomness of who gets to go home on their feet and who goes home under a flag.

    That’s only going to get worse as we get things like turrets that can acquire targets on their own. Ever seen an aimbot video from a game? How do you take out a line of weapons that have pinpoint accuracy and fire as fast as they can physically move their barrels?

    The next big war is going to be World War 1 all over again. And the old wars with Knights and Cavalry killed more people with dysentery than the fighting.

    Just let me play Doom in a cubicle.

      I just fired Bannerlord back up the other day for the first time in a while. It’s come a long way!
